WINDOW-STOP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

' Eatented March. es, 1907.

Application filed October 9, 1905. Serial No. 281.885.

To nil wim'n't it mayconcern: v Be it known that I, I'VILLIAM A. HEARTT, l a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of New York, N. Y., have invented a certainnew and useful Improvement in \"Vindow-Stops, of which the following is a l specification. My invention relates to stop devices for tilting or swinging windows. Generally stated, the object of my inven- 'tion is to provide an improved and highlyeflicient form of window-stop for pivotallymounted windows, e v Special objects of my invention are to-provide an improved stop device that will be I positive and certain in action, to prdvide an improved window-stop of such character that i it can be readily thrown out of use when it is desired to wash the window, to provide 2 a window-stop which 'can be economically manufactured and which will not tend to I get out of order, to provide an improved window-stop of such character that it can be readily and easily attached to tilting or 2 5 swinging windows of various forms, and to provide certain details and features of improvement tending to increase the general 5 efliciency and serviceability of a stop device i of this particular character. To the foregoing and other useful ends my invention consists in matters hereinafter set. forth and claimed. J 1 In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an inside view of a window provided with 3 5 stop devices embodying the principles of my invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged side elevation of one of the window-stops, showing the window closed. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2, but showing the window open. Fig. 4 is o a perspective of the bracket-plate-or stationary portion of the stop device.

The window may be of any suitable or desired construction. As shown, the upper sash A is pivoted so that its upper end can 4 5 swing in and its lower end swing out. This I is accomplished by providing socket-plates B, which are secured to the jamb D and. pivotplates E, the latter being secured to'the sash. The pivots e on the plates E are adapted to engage the sockets bin the plates B. In this: way the sash D tilts abouta horizontal axis so disposed that the sash-v will ofits own weight return to its closed position.

- swung or lifted laterally,

order, however, to prevent the sash from being tilted clear'around when it is opened, the plates B are provided with rigid stopbrackets F. and the plates E with swinging stop-rods G. The brackets F each'have a notch f, normally closed'by a pivoted guard This bracket-plate can be secured to the jamb by screws inserted through the openings f 2 and to the plates B byscrews-inserted through the openings f or the bracket-plate and socket-plate can be made in one piece, if desired. The stop-rods G are eachprovided with an eye g, secured to the small bracketplate g, and these plates 9 can be secured to the pivot-plates E, or the two plates can be made in one piece. At its free end each rod is provided with a weight or shoulder 9 Each rod passes through the notch of its allotted bracket F, the weights 9? being toolarge to pass through the openings f. In this way the window can only tilt or open to the point where the weights or shoulders y engage the bracket-plates F, as shown in Fig. 3; When the window is closed, the rods hang as shown in Fig. 2. If it is desired to tilt or I swing the sash clear around, as in washing,

thenthe guards f are thrown up and the rods swung sidewise until they are out of the notches or openings f.

It will be seen that the rod G-is disposed at an angle to thewindow-frame when'the window is open, as shown more clearly in Fig. 3, the, enlargement at the end of the rod being too large to pass through the slot in the end of the bracket F, but such slot ermitting the lateral displacement of the rodhvhen it isdesired to open the window more than the distance rescr'ibed by the length of the rod. With this arrangement therod G pulls upwardly and toward the sash when the window is open and is at an oblique angle to the frame or any other suitable angle when the sash is in the tilted or inclined position shown in Fig. 3; I

In statin that the slot or openings f and f are adapte to permit the lateral removal therefrom of the rods G and G, I mean that the rods are removable by lateral or swinging motion in an suitable direction by manually lifting said rods rather than by an endwise' movement of the same.- Consequently'whenthe rods G are displaced or as distinguished rat frame 'a. rod swmgingly secured to the bracket on the sash... and an enlargement on the free end of said rod, thesaldbraoket on the fifame haying an opening in which the said rod slides and tilts at the same time, said enlargement beingtoo large to pass through said opening, said rod disposed at an angle to I q the frame when the Window is 0 en, and said in entlon 1s opening being adapted to permit the lateral removal therefrom of said rod, whereby the 'sasli'can then be opened more than the distance prescribed by the length of said rod.
